Bondoman006, I use a suction with the iceross liner, so far so good! I'm a knee disartic, so there's no room for a locking pin. Good luck with it.

@apk29 I love my pin lock. On my new leg I'm gonna try a suction pin lock and see how that works out. Thanks for the comment. Good luck with your limb loss too.

Dude,

I'm an lak, could totally relate to your video. Hilarious! Thanks for making it!

[bondoman006]

@apk29 What suspension method do you use? I have the pin lock right now but my prosthetist is looking into puttin me into a vacuum pin lock. It is pretty new to the marked but I will try it on my new leg.

I'm a left bk... Since 12/22/10. Great videos... Well done. I'm also a size 13 and not a small guy at 6'3" and 260. How do you like your Renegade foot? I'm on a College Park TruStep and making a change to either the Renegade or Fusion Foot (Ohio Willow Wood) by next week. Interested in your advice or thoughts since you actually use the foot. Thanks!

@cbdunn70 I love my Renegade MX foot. I don't have any trouble with uneven terrain or steps or inclines. I would highly recommend the foot. I am a RBK since August 4th. I just got some new Ohio Willow Wood liners and they are working out very good. Thanks for the comment hope everything works out for you.

@bondoman006 I have the new vacuum pin lock and it's great! no pain or nothing. I was previously in the reg. suction, then tried out the reg pin lock and didn't like it. My prosthetist told me about the new vacuum mech and I love it. Hope you enjoy it as well.

Hi Anthony I am an Anthony too.... ex prosthetic limb fitter, great stump you have, good surgeon there.... nice to hear the click as yu connect your pros on, my friend was in a hurry one day and just popped it on, walked out and it promptly dropped off... neat customizing too... cheers from Anthony in the UK

I think playing the sock game (i.e. managing volume changes) was/is also true for those with the older PTB prosthesis--there you decided on thickness of sock(what ply, from 1 ply to 6 ply) and how many socks. Are you thinking of making another video--I hope so. Personally, I'd like to see close ups of your stump, from many different angles.

@prossock I do have phantom pain and phantom sensation. I found that massage and slapping my residual limb helps but it just happens. Sometimes I actually like it because I can feel my old foot even though it is pain. It doesn't matter if my prosthetic is on or off it happens either way. Some days I have none other days it hurts a lot but I am getting used to it.
